This original video, commissioned by the Internet Archive, commemorates the reopening of the Marygrove College Library.
“When I heard that the library was going to be digitized, I felt like it was going to be a stroke of genius, “ said poet, Valerie Deering, Marygrove College alumna Class of 1972. “That there was not going to be a book burning, that these books weren't going to end up at the Salvation Army where nobody really knew or understood or would appreciate what they've been to generations of students.”
The collection is now available for free through the Internet Archive’s website and will also be preserved in its physical archives. Internet Archive hopes that making the collection available online will expand access for marginalized groups such as those with disabilities that affect reading.
“A library is much more than the books on the shelves—it is the center of a community,” said Brewster Kahle, Internet Archive’s founder and digital librarian. “It reflects a history of a hundred years of interests and passions and collections that have been built by librarians, faculty, and students. Having that collection all online brings that community online, but also allows that artifact to be used by people all over the world. That is the idea of this next generation of Marygrove College Library.”

As a child I began reading, had an admiration for books, libraries & librarians. In elementary school, by 5th grade I worked part of one class in
...
the library. I am a retired admin. asst. who's scanned & uploaded the entire employee collection of a major corp. from paper to internet. Also, a poet (The Poetic Plum); who's written my 1st book. I can relate on multiple levels. On multiple levels, this collection will come full circle. From the dream that inspired the library initially; to the many dreams having access to these books will continue to inspire. Thank you!

A very moving short documentary reflecting the value of a collection being so much more than the sum of its parts.
Special collections like this are usually ... unknown and/or inaccessible to people unless they are members of the community that holds them. Here we see in one place the tremendous value of Open Access combined with the archival importance of keeping a collection alive.
Everybody will now be able to benefit from decades of collecting by librarians, and the dedication of the Internet Archive team.
Well done to everybody involved.

The best decision you could make!
I am myself an author. Old books are sometimes difficult to find and digitalisation is always the solution!

Wonderful initiative to digitize the Marygrove college library and a matching effort in form of this movie to make that effort understandable and tangible.
